Stone or square keep castles were first built in Medieval England by William the Conqueror. Stone keep castles were the natural extension of motte and bailey castles. Motte and bailey castles were only temporary features (though many mottes exist to this day) while stone keep castles were built to last. (this was copyed and pasted off the website below.)

This depends on what type of castle your referring to. In the Norman times, there were two different types of castles built. There were Motte and Bailey castles and Stone keep castles (Stone castles). The Motte and Bailey castles were made out of wood and the Stone keep castles were made out of stone (obviously).
Castles were built in various styles and forms throughout history, depending on the time period and region. Some common types include motte-and-bailey castles, concentric castles, and stone keep castles. Motte-and-bailey castles were early medieval fortifications consisting of a wooden or stone keep built on a raised earthwork called a motte, with an enclosed courtyard known as a bailey. Concentric castles were developed in the 12th and 13th centuries and featured multiple layers of defensive walls and towers. Stone keep castles, also known as Norman castles, were constructed primarily in the 11th and 12th centuries and featured a central stone tower or keep surrounded by walls and other structures.
In 1066 by the Normans
